From the wilderness and this Lebanon to the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites [meaning Canaan], and to the Great [Mediterranean] Sea on the west shall be your territory.
Although the Hittites are mentioned 48 times in the Bible, some critics long refused to accept the possibility or at least the probability of the importance of such an ancient people.
But archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century have confirmed the importance of Hittites beyond all question.
For instance, G.A. Barton in Archaeology and the Bible records the existence of an archive of clay tablets containing among other things a military treaty made by the Egyptians and the Hittites nearly thirteen centuries before the birth of Christ.
